Thanks Jarvis. I built an electro etching machine and designed a logo. Rio is my dog, and the logo is a dog paw.

I alternated green and tan linen with clear fiberglass resin. I'll try to take some better pics.

Here are my last four knives. Sorry about the photography. Leverletto kit on top, Mikov kit next, with my own micarta scales, Next is custom slip joint with copper bolsters, diamondwood scales and 01 tool steel blade. Last is my filet knife with diamond wood, mosaik pins, red fibre liner and etched ...

I understand that there is a product that one can paint onto tool steel before placing the part into the furnace. It seals the o2 into the steel so the carbon doesn't leech out. Anyone know the name of this product? Bonus if you know where to get some. Thx.

nice little knife. I am going to try one of these soon.

My second knife is VERY tight. I am not quite done, because it doesn’t open all of the way. I made certain not to ove...

A stunning work of art, me thinks. That one would stay in the case, and never see the fingerprints of even my bestest friends.

I dunno Paul. Its kinda o.k. because it reminds me of my boyscout knife.

Hey Arthas, am pasting this from another thread: One thing I don't get: thought the numbering system was based on blade type, not handle material. In other words, xx of 55 bayos, xx of 200 daggers etc.. The 3 others I have are all bayos and marked "xx of 55 - 2007" .. The new briar, also a bayo, is...
